Before I dive in to this RHOBH recap, I want to send you to the Hustler & Housewives comment section. At the very end I’ve added a link to some photos of Erika out and about with unbrushed hair and no makeup looking a hot mess. Apparently her glam squad were miracle workers.
Erika Arrives To Great Fanfare
Clearly, at this point of filming, Erika Jayne still had her glam squad. All the girls cheer and clap for her arrival. Why? I find it hard to believe that not one person knows about all the lawsuits and allegations at this point. And, even not the Fox Force Five (whatever the fuck that means) are all still supporting her shady ass. Fun fact, I am drinking champagne at the same time they are. Only my champagne flute literally costs eleven times the price of the champagne. The flute was a gift. I paid for the champs. lol. I hate how they drink out of champagne coupes instead of flutes though.

Garcelle is always the truth teller and such a great addition to RHOBH. She’s Garcelle is rather appalled by Erika in general. Kyle says Mercury is out of retrograde and blames her fight with Dorit on the plane on the stars. Nope, Dorit is long-winded and annoying regardless of how the stars are aligned. I hate Garcelle’s super expensive bucket hat. It looks like it belongs on Dorit’s head. Dorit has nothing going for her other than designer clothes with giant logos. Garcelle doesn’t need that flashy, trendy crap. Kyle makes fun of Kathy because she’s the opposite of Dorit. She talks in shorthand and innuendos. Sutton mentions buying a new car. Guess what? Erika just bought a new Range Rover with the money earmarked for widows and orphans, ALLEDGEDLY.
The Elephant In The Room
Erika finally talks. She said she let go of her Lamborghini, her 16,000 square foot home, and she let go of her marriage. Aw, poor little formerly rich girl. And she didn’t let go of any of those things other than the shady divorce from Tom in an attempt to hide assets. ALLEGEDLY. She says she left because Tom “pushed her further and further out.” And their conversations were no longer the same. He only spoke a sentence or two. But, um just last week she was talking about how the best part of Covid was her long conversations with Tom over dinner every night. Which is it, girl? I don’t believe a word she is saying right now. Kyle and Rinna say she is taking a brave step. /eyeroll

Everyone goes outside for dessert but there doesn’t seem to be a place to sit. Kyle and Dorit go back inside to try to resolve their feud. They other ladies decide it is too cold outside and go back in. Kyle and Dorit quickly hug it out. Kyle and Dorit talk about Sutton and Crystal naked bedroom drama. I don’t believe Crystal’s version of the story entirely. Kyle doesn’t think Sutton had any ill intentions, let alone an intent to “violate” Crystal.
Random Filler Scenes
Garcelle meets with a “dating coach” to assist her to find a man. I feel like men are beating down her door. They certainly should be. She’s smart, beautiful, successful and financially independent. Meanwhile, Erica is in her new house. I love the new “little” house. I wonder where he son is living now. Again, I don’t believe a word out of Erika’s house.

Apparently, Sutton has never had a mammogram! (I haven’t had one in years) so Kyle made her an appointment. I hate going because they always “see something” on mine and want to do a sonogram. The last time a doctor tried to send me and I asked to go straight to the sonogram. Because I know how things are going to go, and he was a dick about it. Then, I didn’t have insurance and that was that. Kyle talks to Sutton about Crystal feeling violated. We finally see the footage. Sutton did not bring cameras into the room. She opened the door, dropped off the coat, and was in and out in under 30 seconds. There was no laughing, she said, “I don’t know what is going on in here, but I’m just going to put this here” and left. Crystal said, I’m just putting on my pajamas.”
Erika Jayne’s Explanations Don’t Add Up
Erika and Rinna go out for hot toddies at an outdoor Hotel bar. Erika continues her false narrative about her divorce. Erika said she drove Tom to work and dropped him off. She says she told him she loved him and he replied with, “Thanks Hon.” She went home and packed her shit and was out in one day. She did not leave a note. And that was that. Erika has ZERO acting skills. And her story doesn’t make any sense. She had a place already rented? I mean maybe. She claims that was the last time she talked to him. She says, “He’s got some real challenges in front of him.” She never mentioned Alzheimer’s disease.

Kyle is suddenly Team Sutton this week and it is weird. I mean I’m here for it but it is the first time she’s been supportive of her the entire season and now she’s acting like her BFF. Crystal is having some sort of dinner party at her house. My southern sister, Sutton brings Crystal a very expensive bottle of tequila as a hostess gift, even though Crystal is a total cunt to her most of the time. Everyone is ushered to the backyard. Garcelle, who is THE SMARTEST PERSON IN THE ROOM (said in my Eboni voice) tells us when she was going through a divorce, she didn’t want to go anywhere. But, Erika walked in like “sex in heels.” Enjoy that glam while you can, future inmate number 90210. ALLEGEDLY.
Awkward Dinner Party Conversations
Erika starts talking about some sort of CBD sex oil that Kyle and Mauricio have been “enjoying” then she goes into an in depth discussion about how she rubs it all around the lady pond. As one does at a lovely dinner party at someone’s home with children. Garcelle wants the hookup on THAT. So she clearly is hiding a man somewhere. Also, Garcelle is my girl but she’s in some sort of athleisure shorts and a zippered jacket. Why? Crystal and Sutton go off to try to make peace again. Bless your heart, Sutton, no matter how sweet you are this bitch is never going to like you. Sutton says they promised not to talk behind each other’s back but Crystal still is. Production runs the footage to verify that.

Erika says she is going to go without sex for 90 days. I do not believe her. I feel like that apartment she had for a while is where she took her lovers. ALLEDGEDLY. Then, Sutton and Crystal go back outside. Sutton says they would like to put that awkward moment behind them. She also hold Crystal accountable for her malicious statement about “violating her.” Dorit of COURSE has to jump into the conversation that has nothing to do with her and repeat Crystal’s false narrative about the situation. Sutton is really sticking up for herself. I’m proud of her. Garcelle is clearly on Sutton’s side. Crystal says she is going to “believe” Sutton. Um, because it’s the TRUTH!
Crystal teaches the ladies to make dumplings. I would love for her to teach me how to make authentic dumplings. Everyone has been gifted personalized aprons. They look delicious! We end on a kumbayah moment. Next week looks good!
Erika looks so guilty in all of this and deserves no sympathy.
I didn’t like Kyle last season because of her treatment of Denise. This season she’s super lucky Kathy is there to make her likable again.
I’m going to be so pissed if no one calls Erika out.
Well said.😊
Im with you!
Especially after the Big Deal they made about LVP calling the press re Dorit dropping off the dog and how they treated Denise last season. SURELY they know what Erika did, alledgedly, is way way worse. As in: Really much worse on all levels.
In previews Sutton calls Erika out at some point & Erika threatens her through gritted teeth. I hope the other ladies back up Sutton & not the ice queen.
I can’t believe Rinna is keeping her mouth shut about Erika & not asking a million questions or making comments in her talking head like she did about LVP and Denise..
Thank God for Garcelle!!
IMO – most of the ladies are afraid of Erika – even Rinna.
They all have a lot of money to lose in a defamation lawsuit. Tom might not have two of his own pennies to rub together, but I’m guessing he could do some damage in the legal system.
YEP!
I have never trusted Erika thought if her lips were moving she was lying.
Very disappointed in Kyle always thought she was quite authentic. But her true colours are out and shes as fake as Rinna
Am I a terrible person for laughing during Erika’s awful acting? Crystal has an eating disorder, and I think she slipped during the Tahoe trip. When Sutton walked in she was triggered by someone seeing her and maybe catching on. This would explain the weight loss she claimed she had.
Yes that makes sense – she might have been vomiting or cleaning up from vomiting and feared that Sutton saw her. Eating disordered people avoid meals all the time.
Totally thought Crystal must have been vomiting when Sutton walked in.
I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking that . She skipped dinner right after that which is now making a lot of sense.
Sutton won’t blab if she did see it. Also, the comment about what’s going on in here? Maybe she had her finger down her throat? Remember when Sutton said she had heard about Brandi and Denise long before it came to light. She kept quiet about that. But hearing a rumor and seeing someone vomiting are different. I’d ask if they were alright.
Hmmmm, could be why Crystal would “share” her eating disorder with the ladies-ones she had just met and on a TV show no less. She figured Sutton was as big of a gossip as she is.
Why did it feel like they let Erica have a good edit, like the devoted wife that was blindsided. If this was Denise and Aaron they would have added lawsuit headlines in between sound bites. Didn’t even think about that she had the home prior, of course she did and her comments on the 2 trator trailers to pick up items, you know things said in jest often come from a place of truth. Should be an interesting rest of the season now that we can let the crystal/sutton nonsense go, or at least not care. Waiting for Sutton and Garcelle to ask the uncomfortable questions about the lawsuits. Not sure what the point of the dating coach was other than a storyline. Then again dorit has nothing, Kyle and rinna so far just wore the same dress, snooze. Oh wait we’ll get the mention of Disik next week, zzzz……. its obvious erica lawyers got to her this week at least!
Clarification: Crystal and Sutton issues are not nonsense but both seem to be projecting their issues onto one another. They trigger each other. It seems as though they have worked through this, hopefully.
I didn’t think Erika got a good edit. They made her look really shady with the subtitles about stealing the furniture when she moved out. That kind of stuff could actually open her up to legal issues from creditors wondering what other stuff she took that should have stayed as part of the Tom Girardi estate.
I agree that Erika hung herself quite a bit with her explanations. Every bit of footage – including the stuff not aired – will be subpoenaed. It won’t be a court of “public opinion” where she can trick her fans into being sympathetic.
Aside from that anyone but a moron must realize that her explanations don’t add up.
There was a conspicuous (at least to me) shift in support by Crystal, Kyle and Kathy on WWHL last night. They were briefly asked why the support for Erika versus Denise as depicted in that episode. Their explanation was that this was filmed 6 months ago and that all the information they had was what she had told them.
While this is literally true because nothing had come out except that the divorce was weirdly out of left field up until the documentary came out, they had ALL been supportive of Erika when a lot of things had come out. Even if she wasn’t criminally guilty she certainly was showing herself to be an utterly contemptible human being by caring on in clothing etc. purchased on blood money – literally. She made absolutely no attempt during all that period to make any kind of amends
Well I haven’t seen WWHL yet, but that whole Fox Fource Five hand holding nonsense happened like a week ago.
Also, they absolutely can use her statements on the show against her. She’s basically admitting guilty. This is not a child custody case. They used footage of Teresa and Joe during their trial.
I am not so sure that anything Erika says CNN on the show can be used in court. Jason Hoppy tried to use things in the show against Bethenny and the judge said it could not be used because it was a show not necessarily real life.
* The word “CNN” should not be in the sentence. I think it was some auto correct.
I read they can use what was shown but they weren’t sure they could use the footage not shown. In fact they are combing through it right now. I can’t believe her attorneys let her do this show…..but I am happy they did. I want her to hang herself.
Why would Erika drive Tom to work from Pasadena to DTLA? How did he plan on getting home? I call BS on that tale as well.
That did fall into the “oh, come on!” category, didn’t it? I’d also like to know if production gave Erika the opportunity to select clips of Tom being verbally abusive to her.
Like Tom doesn’t have a chauffer/driver!!!
Yes you are right For goodness sakes even Erika has a driver o rarely see her driving
What time did she wake up
And sit in traffic? Were they using the carpool lane? Surely she was sitting in a lot of traffic on the way home to steal furniture
All excellent points. Though Bravo started driving the HW to and from events where they would be drinking. Which was a smart legal decision. Erika did say she “gave up her Lambo.” I thought that was weird to, if it was her car, why would she not take it when she moved out? Why buy a Range Rover after leaving? Maybe it was in Tom’s name?
The more I think about it her claim that she drove Tom to work makes very little sense. He surely attended meetings with clients both in and out of the office. Lunch meetings, etc. How would he get around if he wasn’t driving and she dropped him off? OTOH, he’s quite old so maybe he has glaucoma and can’t drive? I know my dad used to drive at night when he was old and it was terrifying!
Yes regarding the dating coach! It was also odd that Garcelle told Erika that she should talk to her dating coach. How inappropriate if Erika was indeed the devoted wife who had just filed for divorce recently and out of the blue. At least Erika’s declining the offer was an appropriate response to Garcelle. But then didn’t Erika say something cringe worthy about how she should just have lots of meaningless sex. That isn’t what I would expect a heartbroken spouse to say. This show is not helping her case.
Erika’s storyline is so fake. She was so quick to forsake the usual marriage vows such as for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, or till death do us part. Oh no, it’s “I told him recently that I loved him and he said Thanks Hon.”so I moved out and filed for divorce. Who would believe that? Her vows are more like I take this man in marriage until the money runs out or he gets sick which ever happens first.
Of course Erika walked into the party like “sex in heels”. After all she needs this job especially if she loses all her riches and if she ever expects to afford to keep a glam squad in the future. Also, she needs to look sexy on TV so she can attract a new sugar daddy.
I bet the widows and orphans they cheated are glad to know she had to give up her Lamborghini for a Range Rover because the later is such a cheap piece of crap car (not). Poor thing. Bravo needs to fire her.
Correction: the widows and orphans they ALLEDGEDLY cheated.
Wasn’t her whole reason for divorce was he was messing around ? No mention of that at all. I can’t imagine what the victims suffer watching this shit.
Rinna on point – Erika knows exactly what she has to do and is methodical & on point
yes ma’am – don’t forget it lol
If Erika moved out in one day… when did her son the cop move out? Hope lawyers are having a field day transcribing this line of bologna… just feel like I need a shower after watching Erika on my TV. I think I am done with this show too. Only watch jersey now but mostly because the men make me laugh and my hubby is from jersey and the men are the only thing that’s real!! Rinna is just so fake and now we have to hear about her daughter dating disick?… no thank you. Will just wait for your recaps TT!!!
Oh she is THRILLED to be able to capitalize on that shit.
I can hear the inside cash register dinging away… My daughters are going to be the new Kardashians!
Puke.
And she is probably fantasizing about being like Kris Jenner. I can’t think of anything that would make Rinna more wet then that.
(Sorry, but it’s true)
lori, so is Teresa. Her daughter’s are advertising the G.G. line of sweats.They look like the same sweats in pastel that Jill and Ally Zarin are selling. The hoodies have logos on them from that awful song, “Waking up in the morning / Thinking about so many things.” People are saying Bravo should give the girls a show. Gag Me! Teresa also has a line of furniture she’s hawking on Instagram.
I do love Teresa’s girls though, particularly Gia. I think a big part of that is that I’ve admitted how she has remained “normal” and kept a relatively low profile, and hasn’t seemed to crave the fame like so many do. Of course that can change in a hot second. I didn’t know that Jill and her daughter even sold sweats. I don’t follow what these hw’s peddle at all. Of course I’m going to have to go and check out both family’s sweats just to see now. That stupid song. Things like that song blowing up make me embarrassed and worried for humans (amongst a million other things… some way more important, some less).
Teresa is a bitch and all, but imo she’s not at all on the same level of personality like Kris Jenner and Lisa Rinna. They’re just a different breed. You know what I mean? I can totally see Rinna as Kris 2.0, but not Teresa. I’m envisioning the reality shows in my head. Teresa would be stumbling over her words on a hard hitting negotiations phone call. She’d have to hire someone. Rinna I can see holding her own. She already reminds me of Kris Jenner as it is. Yuck to all of it.
*admired
Erika, Erika, Erika.
Don’t believe a word you said. I was laughing through that whole charade, and Rhinna, smh If you believed it you are dummer than I thought
I have like 5% of the amount of things Erika has, and I’m not sure I could move out in one day. I mean, I guess I could if it was all going to the bankruptcy anyway.
After doing a little snooping on Garcelle’s IG the final scene of the episode was filmed November 13th and the lawsuit was filed in December 2nd. So that’s probably why no one knew.
Been reading for years TT and finally got the courage to finally comment. Thanks for the content!!
Welcome my friend! I am happy you chose do join us. However we already have a great friend of the site that is Marc with a C. Could you possibly go by Marcus or something else so things don’t get confusing? Marc is my very close friend. Thanks
Thanks for the welcome! Yes, I’ll definitely go by Marcus so there’s no confusion. I’ve been reading in the shadows since construction first began on Chateau Sheree. Lol
Thanks Marcus. Marc is my birthday twin of yesterday so it was a bit confusing lol.
Also I am a fan of full names certain people call me Tam. family called Tammy as a child. I know you have more to your name than you are telling. I think when we get older we like the whole name. So feel free to say it all when you want to. xo
YAY! I really am so excited that you are here! Yesterday was the birthday of me and Marc who is commmenter like you! It was just an interesting time for you to join us but we are happy you are here! Now I have to get back to me and marc feeling REALLY OLD lol.
Happy Belated Birthday!!
In other news, I’m going to have to figure out some kind of punishment for you be a lurker for eleventy billion years. LOL
Omg Happy Belated Birthday to you & Marc!! I hope you were able to take a little time for yourself. Don’t punish me too hard! Lol I never wanted to comment the wrong thing & get cussed out. Last night a lightbulb clicked that I can put my social media addiction to use in the comments. Thank you again for making me feel so welcome 🙂
The men on this site are NEVER a problem. So you are safe. Some of these bitches though… we get into it but they are (mosty) still here. The occaision girl fight happens. lol.
Marcus, you came in with some good sleuthing info though! Thank you. I hope it starts getting better on the show once Dec 2nd rolls around. I am sure we can count on Garcelle at least. Also, from the previews, obviously Sutton says something at some point.
I’m so glad it was appreciated. I wish they would have did a flash forward to the lawsuit so we’d have a sense of time. I have a feeling they’re gonna drag this out to the end just like the bachelor party with RHOA. I’ll be patiently waiting for Sutton to blow up the charade. Lol
For sure they’re gonna drag this shit out. Bravo must have been absolutely ecstatic.
If Erika’s lawyers are worth their salt, they should advise her to quit the show and shut her mouth. The prosecutors must be doing a happy dance because she is clearly lying and contradicting herself left and right. What a sleaze ball.
The ones that dropped her? They probably did bit she is a narcissisist who needs the RHWBH check.
They reversed their decision and now are representing her again.
I will admit upfront that so far I’m not yet fond of Crystal so I admit that perhaps this is why something that happened tonight rubbed me the wrong way. It’s about her cousins. I don’t think it’s strange at all to have your cousins come over to help prepare food or set up for a party. It’s also very nice to have them teach the women how to make shui jao and consume them in the kitchen. But to me, they were treated a lot like the caterers/visiting chefs would be in this type of situation, not family, who might join them for say, dessert to socialize even for a short part of the evening. If they did and we see a flashback later I may change my feelings about this.
Same here, she reminds me of Camille in the beginning, look at my house, my powerful husband, and a vibe that she feels superior to the other ladies. I also felt the same way about the cousins, but I’m hoping it was that way because they were filming.
I tried posting a very similar comment last night but my internet provider crapped out on me so it didn’t post. I felt the same way about it.
I know that when they’re filming things like this and other people are around, they don’t film them, or that part. They pull the hw’s together and get their scenes down and then they go back to the real party or gathering, etc. We’ve seen this when new hw’s come on the show, and we then learn that they were actually at this or that event last season, (or the seasons before), but Bravo didn’t film them, or that part, etc , so I too am hoping that that’s the case. I’m not liking Crystal very much so far either, but I’m still open to giving her a chance.
Happy belated birthday Tamara!! You’re post especially the “purple pen” give me life!!!
Please excuse my typo. Your posts give me life!!
Is that the best Erika could come up with?.. Pretty pathetic and not believable. On a brighter note, Happy belated Birthday Tamara and you too Marc. I hope you both enjoyed your day.
I enjoyed MY DAY very much. However TODAY, I am learning the lesson again about why I stopped buying cheap champagne. And especially DRINKING THE ENTIRE BOTTLE on an empty stomach. UGH.
We forget (sometimes deliberately) things we’ve learned in our youth lol
Hope you feel better soon & Happy Belated Birthday xo
Thank you kindly Cheryle
Happy Birthday Tamara!
I think Erika is full of shit. Yes, she told about dinner conversations with Tom. She also told the ladies in Tahoe that Tom lets her be herself and said it was one of the things she loved about him. I’m not buying the divorce explanation (or lack thereof).
Erika is a selfish and complacent cunt.
Thanks for the birthday mention & greetings ! Love my beautiful plant & like us it is drought resistant! Also welcome to the site Marcus !
I just want to say that I think Erika finally got caught looking like her true self by the paparazzi since they are actually showing up on their own instead of being called in by the housewife. Also if she just had put her hair up in a hair thing she would have looked better… I work full time and chase two girls when I am not working and still manage to look okay without make up on ever and curly hair that is never done right…. I don’t think I could ever watch this season because I would just want to lose it the whole time since she has always been fake.
That is the part that seems strange. Many people run around doing errands dressed casually but the hair and the outfit aren’t what most women would feel comfortable wearing outside their home.
You don’t have to “do” your hair – just throw it back in a pony tail with a pair of sunglasses.
Leggings or athletic wear is fine for casual as well but most women don’t wear a grungy t-shirt with a pair of sweats. You throw on leggings or yoga pants with a cute top – it could come from Target and no one would look twice. It is just strange that Erika seems to have no middle ground – that she literally looks like dog feces unless dressed by a glam squad – I mean did she have the glam squad dressing her just to run errands before she left the house?
There is a nice looking casual look that most women have that takes 5 minutes of getting dresses so that you don’t look as if you left the house dressed in your laundry basket without even combing your hair.
It seems to me she wanted to be photographed looking like shit to try to “sell” her, “I left with nothing” narrative.
“Nothing” isn’t going to fly after seeing two bedrooms in her new house full of clothes and shoes.
And, I like the “small” house better than the gaudy monstrosity she left. Lol
LOL – I totally get where you’re coming from, but here in the South, you’d probably be appalled at how some folks run around down here. Then again, supposedly she gives zero f#%k’s and deep down she’s a Georgia girl, so there’s that.
I’m guilty of giving zero fucks during the pandemic about what I look like at Publix. I don’t see the point of showering and putting on clean clothes when I am just going to have a panic attack where I sweat the stinkiest sweat in the store.
You’re not the only one – I’m over here in Simpsonville now, & I don’t give many fucks myself, anymore. The other thing is I have to keep spare shoes in my car cause I run out the door to do my errands, only to realize when I arrive that I have no shoes, Is running around with no shoes just a Georgia/Southern thing? I don’t know…lol.
Oh don’t get me wrong. I never wear make up and my hair is always up because I don’t ever bother to brush it. My Saving grace is my dresses that are like pajamas and never wrinkle.
Because no one else wants to smell you, and shouldn’t have to? Your sweat will be a lot less unpleasant if you’re washed, in clean clothes and with deodorant on.
You obviously have never had panic attacks. LOL.
Dorit looked like she was a waitress at a 50’s Diner. Erika was acting like Teresa acts or Alexis Bellino when she was on Below Deck…a woman clearly acting like their Ex may be watching. I was waiting for her to start talking about pineapples and twerking. And why did Sutton wear that shirt dress? I was waiting for the buttons to start popping off.
Is it just me or does anyone else think Kathy looks like Caitlyn Jenner? I haven’t watched the BH housewives for years and this year when I tuned back in I kept thinking I was seeing Caitlyn. Maybe it’s the hair color or the mouth/jawline area. Or I need better glasses……
OMG, Erika is so full of shit and we all can see right through it. FOR YEARS she’s been this ice queen, tough as nails bitch and suddenly? She’s nice and kind to all the other women? Who is the real erika anyway? Does she even know? And she admitting that Tom rescued her? All of a sudden she’s playing her violin??? Crystal is annoying and has some issues that should be addressed. She does not look like she has a good laugh in years and how about, as mentioned above, treating her cousins like human beings and include them? Once again, she thinks she is above everyone else.
Yes, I noticed that too. She was being uncharacteristically nice to everyone and even said she trusts this group of women and would defend them if anyone outside their group attacked them. Now she is kissing everyone’s ass (and passively asking for their support) after she has been forced to give up her lavish lifestyle?
Well, I don’t think Erica looked THAT bad pumping gas, it was refreshing to see her without make-up. Looked like she packed on a few lbs. tho. And Tom has always been a condescending prick. What she said made sense to me. She made a deal with the devil.
None of what she says makes sense to me. She knew what she signed up for or she found out over two decades. Well, being in bed with the devil does not absolve her from culpability or make me view her as a victim. It will be interesting if she is held accountable in any of this. Unfortunately it will probably take a lot of time before we know the outcome.
Wendy Williams said she looked like Mama June and/or Dog (or whatever he goes by) The Bounty Hunter. lol.
I’m so relieved that everyone isn’t buying what Erica was selling last night. She stayed in a marriage of convenience as long as she could spend money without any constraints. Money dwindles away and Erica runs for the hills. She can run but she can’t hide from the law. There is a major difference in the way Rnna is treating Erica and the way she treated Denise last season. I can’t wait to see if Rinna changes her tune as the season progresses.
The Bad: I hate watching HW’s visits to a doctor. It feels like unnecessary filler. At least it wasn’t a shrink this time.
Crystal has lost me as a viewer, and therefore I am doubling down on team Sutton.
Thank you for teaching me the definition of a coupe glass. I am surprised I did not know that word as it pertains to crystal and champagne. Speaking of Dorit, I do not believe the issue between her and Kyle is over. It will be another tireless debate where both women are right and wrong at the same time. And nobody cares.
I guess Beverly Hills is a make believe world where lying is accepted. Perhaps even expected. Erika is lying through her store bought teeth, and they are store bought.
Another infomercial from hustler Rinna.
I do not like the CBD/THC talk because it’s illegal where I live and a reminder that Georgia is the last to do anything.
The Good: Unlike other HW franchises, the BH women support each other regarding new ventures. Garcelle & Kathy are the best recent additions to the show. Sutton’s beautiful Parisian table. Keep showing em how it’s done Sutton! She even had personalized desserts.
Kyle impersonating her sister Kathy’s shorthand lingo was so good!
Lynne, speaking of champagne glasses, my VERY expensive flute was drained and set on the coffee table before I crashed. I’m SUPER OLD NOW, so I have started sleep walking to the bathroom throughout the night. Most of the time I have no memory of it and can only tell because apparently sleep walking me doesn’t flush so I can tell by the amount of TP in the toilet. Sorry, over sharing. I’ve also been told I am frightening to sleep with. I wear a lot of heavy bangles and have apparently clocked more than one boyfriend in the face thrashing around. (No wonder I can’t keep a man, I apparently abuse them in their sleep). LOL. Again oversharing.
Sadly my VERY expensive champagne glass was the victim of my sleep rage last night. I was shattered in a million pieces on the coffee table /trunk. Miraculously, I suffered no injuries. 🙁
Anyway coupes are very old school like the 1920s and in my opinion flutes are are a much better choice for sparkling wines. Also I feel like crap after drinking an entire bottle of very cheap champagne. Also the carrot cake was inedible. But I had a GREAT birthday, but today… send thoughts and prayers… lol.
I have beautiful crystal wine glasses that I have no need for. Mikasa Flames de Amor if you are interested. Let me know twin xo Marc
Coupes make the bubbles disappear….tacky 😀
Quite the opposite of tacky; it used to be not uncommon for older aristocratic ladies to carry silver champagne stirrers as they preferred their champagne without bubbles, which upset their aging digestions.
Oh an CBD is legal in Georgia. I didn’t find any real benefit from the gummies. But I may take one now to see if they work on hangovers. I don’t really get hangovers. But I am just feeling sort of out of it today. Like brain fog and tiredness. Need coffee.
I’m so glad that you mentioned your other blogpost about that documentary TT. I’ve been so busy I hadn’t even heard about it, but I’m going to watch it today. I hope my soul can handle it. I’m so sick of people like them. Beyond.
I agree with everyone here. Erica is shady and I’m not sure why the other wives haven’t turned on her.
I couldn’t figure out why Erika didn’t want to help pay back Tom’s victims until tonight after hearing her sob story.
I think she feels that she has earned all of those items by being with him for 20 years. Like this was a job that she suffered through all of those years and has “Earned” them.
That’s the only way I can make sense of her not helping by making payments by selling her “gifts” from the marriage.
I like crystal less every episode. She’s wretched, but I’d like to keep Rob on. What a good guy!
Erika “I was going to hold that man’s hand..”. Yeah until that hand could no longer sign checks for you.
I felt like the producers were trying to go easy on Erika a bit, but I am bothered by it all. I used to follow her on IG but when all the alleged misappropriated funds came up and she was posting crotch shots I had to unfollow. Only a cold cold witch would do that. Even if you just found out about it, anyone with a shred of decency would tone it down, not turn it up.
Tamara, Happy Belated Birthday!!! I sent you a birthday song via email.
Just got it and sent it to Marc. 🙂
Just got home from work & got it 😃😎😘
The other Housewives, for some reason, seem to be in complete awe of Erika, and they seem to fear her. I think the cold as ice, would snap your head off in a heartbeat demeanor she has had since she was first on the show has somehow kept the ice princess on her pedestal with the ladies. None of them have ever taken her on- she keeps them all at a distance, and if anybody gets too close, she “snarls”.
It kind of made me sick how they kissed her ass at the Paris luncheon- no questions at all- they just acted supportive, but like they were half afraid of her. Given what we all know now, there was a lot of very obvious foreshadowing in some of her statements- like when she said ” they’re going to come for me, and come for me hard” (paraphrase).
It seems telling to me that when she began to talk to the other women, the order of things that were lost were: I lost my lambo, I lost my home, I lost my husband… if it were me, the first and main “thing” I would be upset to lose would be my husband, my marriage, not my Lambo.
Also later her sad story about the dinner party where Tom told the other guy, if you think you can afford her you can take her. Was that supposed to be insulting to Erika? Seems like Tom was clapping back at the man who said “if you were married to a better man..” Tom was saying well if you were rich like me you could have her but you’re a peasant kind of answer.
💯! Yes! On the “”insult” to her. He’s was smacking down his friend. I don’t doubt he spoke down to her, we saw it in that LVP dinner but she put up with it until the $ ran out
Obviously it was a joke, and you know one million percent that she genuinely laughed when Tom said that. It’s not like Erika wouldn’t make the same joke about HERSELF. Who can’t hear Erika saying “Honey, you can’t afford me!”??? I mean give me a breeeaak! Only not even a joke, she would say and think it dead serious too. I’m glad she’s still in the show, the idiot. Every time she opens her mouth, working her way to the most hated woman of 2021.
Ok. I am ready to get dragged. I do not believe Erica knew Tom was robbing from Peter to (not) pay Paul. I believe when she found out was pissed and moved out. She knew how bad it would make her look. She is definitely doing damage control, but what is she supposed to do? Give the victims $$, thereby making herself culpable for the money? I believe he misled her until he couldn’t.
I cannot stomach Crystal. I LOVE Sutton. Then Crystal tries to make Sutton the bad guy because she lost 5 pounds? In a weekend? I didn’t think of the vomiting scenario until reading the comments, but that certainly seems plausible.
And ps. I thought she looked fine in the photos of her pumping gas. Did you notice the shocked faces when she mentioned a Range Rover?! Like she’s driving an old Mazda or something!
And where the hell has Kathy Hilton been all our lives? She’s so-real!
She had to have known sooner. The documentary showed that she wasn’t making any money being a 45 year old Britney Spears and in fact, she was hemorrhaging money. She got on housewives to promote herself because she knew the bottom was falling out and she was going to need the paycheck.
Hmmm. Hadn’t thought about that. I remember the first time Tamara said #felonsbybravo and about died laughing!!
The documentary showed that she was getting money from Tom. But there is definitely a chance she thought the money she was getting from Tom was legitimately Tom’s millions from his law practice. He made millions upon millions before he started stealing money. So, what if she took the money gladly but didn’t know that it was coming from victim accounts? I’m simply saying we don’t know that she DID know. I can’t imagine she would know anything about his actual finances or where his money was coming from. I imagine she was just happy it was being directed her way. It’s a possibility.
It is possible. But… come on…
I feel totally different about all of your observations. It’s funny how 2 people can watch the same show and see everything completely opposite. Lol
For how calculating Erika is she’s not that bright. Renting an 18 foot trailer but only taking a sofa and 2 chairs? Even with clothes that wouldn’t take up the whole trailer. Not only that but it’s traceable! So even if she thought she was being “clever” cameras are everywhere.
She shouldn’t have filmed this season. Everything said will be used against her. I am sure they are documenting all the items in her closets. Including her brand new Range Rover. Again not that bright. I have a feeling that Tom told her to leave and file for Divorce. The way she is acting is not that of an about to divorce lady. It’s like she thinks she has all the cards. This will be an interesting season.
My favorite part of the episode is Garcelle! A breath of fresh air! Love her scenes she has everyone’s number. I hope the dating coach can find her a nice man. Hopefully her journey will be filmed.
She said it’s NOT like she had an 18 wheeler pull up. And indeed, she did not have a kitchen table. Seems like she took only what was hers.
Happy Belated Birthday TT! Sorry about the semi-hangover. One of the many reasons I rarely drink. That and I get really loud and annoying. I will do my best not to be one of the “bitches”. LOL
It seems obvious that Crystal had decided before filming who to go after in a bitter way. Why did not anyone of the other women react to that more, could they not have asked her to stop?
I have long worked with illustration for various great clients and am a fan of cartoons, I had never heard of Rob and I do not think many of my colleagues care to think about who the makers of The Lion King are. Rob seems like a mellow guy and I am sure he is very skilled, it is just the way Crystal talks about him and his ‘fame’ that is a tad annoying.
Somehow Crystal and Sutton seem okay in real time. Which makes me wonder if Crystal can redeem herself.
I was completely shocked when I watched Crystal on WWHL.
She basically agreed that she was terrible to Sutton on the trip and takes full responsibility for her bad behavior.
I think there is hope for her yet.
That was SHOCKING to me. My guess is she knows she is not in the stupid FOX FORCE FIVE so she better make nice with Garcelle and Sutton.
I liked Erika her first season. Her loyalty to Yolanda was refreshing. Her astute observations about LVP were spot on# sniper from the side but now after watching the documentary ( thanks for the link) it seems to me that she was clearly aware of some of it
Alledgedly. Sad to hear all those people tell their stories and hard to fathom how anyone could take advantage of them during such awful occurrences.
Yes that was quite unexpected about Crystal at WWHL, I guess you can not know how you look on TV so easily as a Housewives rookie..
